Most of the Aspeed machines use the UART5 device for the boot console,
and QEMU connects the first serial Chardev to this SoC device for this
purpose. See routine connect_serial_hds_to_uarts().
Nevertheless, some machines use another boot console, such as the fuji,
and commit 5d63d0c76c ("hw/arm/aspeed: Allow machine to set UART
default") introduced a SoC class attribute 'uart_default' and property
to be able to change the boot console device. It was later changed by
commit d2b3eaefb4 ("aspeed: Refactor UART init for multi-SoC machines").
The "bmc-console" machine option goes a step further and lets the user define
the UART device from the QEMU command line without introducing a new
machine definition. For instance, to use device UART3 (mapped on
/dev/ttyS2 under Linux) instead of the default UART5, one would use :
-M ast2500-evb,bmc-console=uart3
